"You. Float?", Brie asked, as her daughter just finished telling her and Nikki what happened and why she had come home early.
Addie just nodded.
"I was just walking and then, I don't know, I just felt like I was floating and when I look down, I was.", Addie repeated.
Nikki looked between her sister and niece.
"None of us can do that", Nikki said.
"I mean, I have never tried", Brie shrugged.
"I'll call Trish", Nikki said.
"Did anything happen before that? Where were you before you went to your next class?", Brie asked.
"I was coming from Roman's class. I had stayed behind to talk to him about dating", Addie shrugged.
Nikki and Brie looked at each other.
"What?", Addie asked.
"Its not a bad thing.", Brie assured.
"It couldn't be that. I have never floated before, any other time I've said yes to him", Addie said.
"Lets just wait and see what Trish and Lita say.", Brie said, looking back at Nikki, who was on the phone with Trish.
"Can Trish float?", Addie asked.
Brie looked at her daughter.
"We aren't sure. We've never seen her do it. This is a first for me and your aunt", Brie explained.
Addie hoped Trish could help. Nikki got off the phone and walked back over to them. She sighed.
"Trish isn't in. She's taking care of something overseas, but should be back in a few days. They are going to reroute her straight here.", Nikki said.
"Do the other covens know what's going on?", Brie asked.
"I didn't want to tell them, in case.", Nikki said.
Brie nodded. The less people who knew right now, the better. Especially if they didn't know what was going on.
"So should I stay home?", Addie asked, looking between the women.
"Just for the rest of the day, don't leave the house", Brie suggested.
Addie nodded.
"Okay, well, if either of you needs me, I will be in the basement studying how to break this curse", Addie sighed.
Nikki and Brie nodded. They watched as Addie made her way downstairs.
"This shouldn't be bad, right? I mean, it's a sign of her powers growing", Nikki shrugged.
"I hope so", Brie mumbled, as she watched the door her daughter went through.
"She's going to be fine", Nikki said, hugging her sister.
Roman hadn't seen Addie the rest of the day. Usually he spotted her walking from class to class.
He hoped nothing was wrong. She left his class happy and excited for their first date.
Voices filled his next class, so he had to put Addie to the back of his mind. Making a mental note to check on her when he got home.
Addie read each of these books front to back for years. She didn't know why she read them again. Nothing changed.
Nothing helped.
"Please give me something. Help me goddess of coven Bella", she whispered.
Books opened and pages turned. Finally, all the books closed, except for one. She stood and walked over to pick it up.
"A memory loss spell?", she asked out loud.
She sighed.
"How does this help? He already doesn't remember me", Addie said.
Deciding to show her mom and aunt. She made her way upstairs.
"Mom, I don't understand", Addie said, reaching the kitchen.
"Adelaide, we have a guest", her mom said, taking the book from her hands.
Roman was standing in the doorway with a smile.
"Hi", Addie said.
Roman noticed Brie hiding the book from him.
"I'll let you two talk", Brie said, before making her way back downstairs with the book and to lock up the basement.
Roman wondered if that's where they hid their stuff. Books and ingredients. He shook his head, he wasn't here as a hunter, he was here as a worried boyfriend.
If that's what he was to her.
"Those for me?", she asked, pointing to the flowers.
He chuckled and nodded.
"They are. Heard you went home, so I thought maybe you got sick. Wanted to cheer you up", he replied, handing her the daisies.
She smelled them. He figured it was better than telling her he stalks her.
"Their beautiful. Thank you", she said.
She was putting them in a vase.
"But I'm not sick. Didn't get enough sleep last night, so I decided to call it a day", Addie replied.
"Because you were thinking about me?", he asked flirting.
She giggled.
"Maybe", she replied.
"I know I was thinking about you all night", he said, moving closer.
She felt this tingling in her fingertips. Was it Roman making her powers act weird.
"You okay?", he asked.
"Sorry, just nervous. Not in a bad way", she replied.
"I hope not.", he chuckled.
She closed the space between them and stood on her toes, kissing his cheek.
"Thank you for checking up on me", she said.
"Of course.", he replied.
Brie came back and smiled.
"Would you like to stay for dinner, Roman?", Brie asked.
Roman smiled.
"I would love too", Roman said.
"If you want to let your brothers know, they can come too", Brie smiled.
"I will let them know.", he nodded.
Brie left the kitchen and Addie smiled up at him.
"So, I'm gonna go home and change. I'll see you in a bit", he said.
Addie nodded and walked him to the door. He turned as he opened the door.
"Anything I should bring?", he asked.
"Nope, just you and your brothers", she replied.
He leaned down and kissed her before leaving. Addie closed the door and leaned back against it before looking at her hands.
"Everything okay?", Brie asked.
"I can't tell if my hands are numb or something is wrong with my magic", Addie replied.
Brie took her hands.
"Do you feel that?", she asked, as she poked her daughter's palm.
"Barely", Addie mumbled.
"I'm gonna call Trish again", Brie said, pulling her phone out.
Addie looked at her mom.
"Do you think I'm dying?", she asked.
Her mom looked at her.
"No. It has to be something else.", she replied.
"Mom…", Brie cut her off.
"Stop. You aren't dying", Brie said.
Addie listened as her mom left Trish a voicemail. Addie looked at her hands again.
She didn't mind dying. She was done with this life. Always losing Roman, never getting older. She was tired.
She looked up when Brie put her hand in hers.
"If anyone is dying here first, its me.", Brie said.
"Mom", Addie sighed.
"Please don't give up", Brie said, before walking past her.
The guys were getting ready to head across the street to have dinner. The emergency phone rang.
All three men just stared at it.
"That phone never rings", Dean finally spoke.
"That's because its only for when the family senses strong magic.", Seth replied.
Roman finally walked over and answered.
"Hello", he said, almost afraid too.
"We found one. A strong source says its coming from Salem.", Randy said.
Roman looked at Dean and Seth.
"Do you know who?", Roman asked.
"No, but if you were correct about that girl. It might just be her", Randy said.
"About that, I cleared her. She's not a witch. No one in her family is", Roman replied.
Dean and Seth stepped closer, realizing their brother just lied.
"Got it. Then it has to be someone else. Find them, Dad's gonna want to catch this witch alive.", Randy said.
"We'll get right on it. No sleep tonight", Roman replied.
Randy chuckled.
"You have a week", Randy said, before hanging up.
Roman set the phone down.
"What was that about?", Dean asked.
"They sensed a powerful witch here in Salem. Told them we cleared the Bella family.", Roman said.
"Do you think its one of them?", Seth asked.
"My heart is hoping its not, but my head knows better. The hunter in me can sense it", Roman said.
"I got the feeling too", Seth nodded.
"I just thought I was hungry", Dean shrugged.
Roman chuckled.
"We have to find out who it is, and if its one of our girls, we have to protect her", Seth said.
Roman and Dean nodded.
"We won't let anything happen to that family", Roman said.
Even if it meant betraying his own.
